Details About These Sunday Items
A special note about the German (and Austrian) programs, postcards, cigarette albums, and
books contained in this
auction
Over the past few years, we have offered some excellent collections of German and Austrian programs,
which were some of the best collections imaginable, because the
collectors who put them together were trying to get as many of the highlights of German cinema (and the world's
cinema) from all years.
We THOUGHT that we would never get another
collection like those, but now we have been consigned one that is similar to those past ones,
BUT THIS ONE ALSO CONTAINS A GREAT SELECTION OF "ROSS" POSTCARDS, FULL CIGARETTE ALBUMS, AND SOME
ULTRA-RARE BOOKS! It
also has quite a few of the same programs we have auctioned in the past, but it also contains some
that we have NEVER auctioned before! This one has a very wide range, covering all the
decades from the 1920s to the present, and there are programs not only from Germany, but also
from Austria (see our chart below).
HERE IS A CHART OF THE ITEMS IN THIS AUCTION:

Important note about "conditional" &
"forbidden" German movies
Immediately after the end of World War II, a list of around 100 Nazi-made movies was created,
and it was decreed that those movies (called "forbidden" movies) could NEVER be shown
again, due to their Nazi propaganda content (the most famous of these are the anti-Semitic ones,
like JUD SUSS and THE ETERNAL JEW). Over the next decade, the list was
re-examined, and it was narrowed down to around 40 movies. At that time, it was decided that the
other 60 or so movies could now be shown, but those 40 remaining movies were declared
"conditional" movies, meaning they are forbidden to be shown in Germany or Austria, even in the
present day, with the sole exception being when they are shown in an educational context, like
at a university, and a speaker talks before and after the movie. The collection we are
auctioning includes many programs from movies that are on solely the "conditional" list, as well
as programs from movies that are not "conditional", but are on the "forbidden" list, and also a
very few programs from movies that are not on either list, but which likely should have been on
one or the other! In every case, we have clearly noted on the auction which list the movie is
on.
About the condition of the items
Note that we give a detailed overall condition grade to every item we sell ("fine", "very good to fine", "very good", "good to very good",
and "good", with only a few graded "fair" or lesser) along with more details about the condition described in words (but pretty much
a general description of the defects, and we only describe specific defects if they are
the type that CAN'T be seen in our super-sized images, or if the item is especially valuable). We felt this would help bidders identify items they want to bid on more easily. Of course, we still strongly recommend that you look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe.
Of course, with the items that have many pages, we could not photograph
every single page, but we often photograph both covers and an interior
two-page spread, which should surely give you an excellent idea of the
overall condition of that item.

U.S. Shipping Details
U.S. buyers need to enclose $8 or $12 shipping or in the case of some items (as noted in the
chart above), the actual cost of shipping (all of which include full
insurance), no matter how many items you purchase from this set of auctions! NOTE: Our flat
rate shipping is good for three weeks. If you haven't paid within three weeks after your oldest
unshipped purchase, you will then be quoted the actual cost of shipping
when you request it.
Learn the exact
details of flat rate shipping
Missouri
customers: You must pay an additional 7.162% sales tax on your
purchases. If your order is sent within the state of Missouri, we MUST
collect this tax (if it is shipped to another state, we do not collect the tax).
Do you need "signature required"?
UPS nor USPS automatically require a signature to deliver packages, so if you want the
signature to be required, you will need to pay the extra $3.87 for UPS or $2.35 for USPS that
they charge for "signature required", and please realize that they will then NOT leave
the package at the door, and you may well have to go to the UPS or USPS facility yourself to
pick it up if you aren't there to meet the delivery person. But if you prefer this, that is
fine, and if you have any other special requirements, please tell us when you are paying for
your order. IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THAT YOU WANT SIGNATURE REQUIRED, THEN YOUR PACKAGE WILL BE
SENT WITHOUT SIGNATURE REQUIRED! Also, if your package is over
$700 to the U.S., we will send it by Registered Mail, which DOES require a signature. If this is
something you DON'T want, you must let us know.
You CAN usually combine shipment!
NOTE: These Sunday items need to be sent in flat packages so...
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COMBINING: Flat rate shipping is good for 3 weeks worth of
purchases (assuming all the items fit into a single package;
Learn More
About Combining). If you win items over a span of more than 21 days, you will then be
charged the actual cost of shipping plus $3 for packing materials.

Note that we not only allow you to combine as many items as you want from a single set of
Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Sunday auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge for all
of the items (even if you get 100 or more, but solely from a single set!), but we also allow
you to wait until the next three weeks of auctions end (a total of up to nine sets of auctions)
so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions (if
possible; see
Learn More
About Combining), and that means there is a chance you could combine items from up to
nine of our sets of auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge (assuming those items
fit into the same type of package, but of course, there is a limit to how many items can fit in
a single package or tube, and if you end up with several packages, you will need to pay that
many shipping charges;
Learn More About Combining). Since around half of our auctions have items that ship in
tubes and the other half have items that ship in flat packages, and since few of those items can
be combined, most of our regular buyers end up with at least two packages after three weeks. We
KNOW there are other sellers who charge a little less on shipping than we do (and of
course, there are others who charge far more!), but none of the ones with lower rates offer the
same generous flat rate shipping we do, and we know that our packaging is the best there is, and
our orders virtually never arrive damaged (and on the very rare times that they do, all our U.S.
packages are fully insured, and FULL INSURANCE IS INCLUDED IN THE U.S. SHIPPING CHARGE).
DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS
UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE $12 U.S. SHIPPING!

Non-U.S. Shipping Details
Non-U.S. buyers must pay the actual cost of shipping their order
(you can choose whatever method you prefer, but know that the U.S. Post
Office has eliminated Surface Mail, so we can only send via Express or
Airmail), plus $3, for both the best packaging materials you have ever seen
and a separate printed invoice mailed to you.
All non-U.S. buyers must tell us if they want the package sent insured or
uninsured at the time they pay for their order.
Have you heard about our Pay and Hold
Program?
This lets non-U.S. buyers pay for their purchases from 6 consecutive weeks
(a total of 18 auctions and around 15,000+ items!), and we then send all your
purchases at once saving you LOTS of money! Click
HERE to learn more
about becoming one of the hundreds of our non-U.S. buyers who are already
part of this program.

in the U.S., insurance, and customs fees.

containing estimated shipping charges for up to 3 items from this week's
auctions

(Note: Insured quotes are based on a $200 value; you pay $1.60 more
for each additional $100 of insurance) |

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please bear these
approximate shipping cost in mind BEFORE you place a bid (if
you live outside the U.S.). The vast majority of our customers want a very
securely packed tube, and will pay the extra shipping cost involved (and of
course, it goes to the Post Office or UPS, and not us!). Please do not ask
us to pack less securely, as that would likely result in a damaged order. Some sellers are sending by Ground UPS to Canada, but that incurs large
"brokerage fees", so we do not recommend it. Note that there are also
some sellers sending non-U.S. packages via a "Letter" rate, but of course
this is not legal, and we can not do this. We have outlined the
possibilities for sending non-U.S. packages above, so please read that
carefully, BEFORE placing a bid!
DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (plus $3 for packaging
materials)!
